Natural Selection in a Population is a Problem of Nonlinear Genetics

Dec 2019 DOI 10.14302/issn.2694-1198.jge-19-3079
A.N. VolobuevCorresponding author

The problem of natural selection against recessive homozygotes in a population is investigated. It is shown that natural selection of mutant alleles linked with the Х-chromosome in a population at women is described by the nonlinear differential equation of the third order. The order of the differen…

Is Natural Selection still have to be Regarded A Foundation Stone of Evolutionary Process?

Jun 2018 DOI 10.14302/issn.2689-4602.jes-18-2128
Andrey I. GranovitchCorresponding author

Natural selection is a buzzword used to describe the main driving force of evolution. Its creative role is believed to be based on: a) an unlimited variety of organisms caused by hereditary variation and b) a direct connection between hereditary changes and their phenotypic expression. These are the…

Inbreeding in a Family Tree and in a Population

Mar 2020 DOI 10.14302/issn.2694-1198.jge-20-3206
A.N. VolobuevCorresponding author

On the basis of Hardy – Weinberg’s law the problem of inbreeding in a family tree and a population was investigated. With use of an inbreeding factor are received the discrete equation for a family tree and differential equation for a population. The numerical solution of the differential equation f…

Migration of a Population

Jan 2020 DOI 10.14302/issn.2694-1198.jge-19-3141
A.N. VolobuevCorresponding author

On the basis of Hardy – Weinberg law the problem of migration from the genetic point of view is considered. It is proved the linear differential equation of migratory process of a panmictic population. The phase of the solution of this equation is investigated. On the basis of the carried out analys…

Conservation, Creation, and Evolution: Revising the Darwinian Project

Sep 2019 DOI 10.14302/issn.2689-4602.jes-19-2990
Gennady ShkliarevskyCorresponding author

There is hardly anything more central to our universe than conservation. Many scientific fields and disciplines view the law of conservation as one of the most fundamental universal laws. The Darwinian model pivots the process of evolution on variability, reproduction, and natural selection. Conserv…

Allele Based Inference on Evolution and Extinction; A Genetic Drift Approach

Aug 2019 DOI 10.14302/issn.2572-3030.jcgb-19-2597
Oluwafemi Oyamakin S.Corresponding author Department of Statistics, University of Ibadan, Nigeria

In other to present a series of stochastic models from population dynamics capable of describing rudimentary aspects of genetic evolution, we studied two-allele Wright–Fisher and the Moran models for evolution of the relative frequencies of two alleles at a diploid locus under random genetic drift i…

The Cost of Acquiring Crossveinless-Ness in Waddington’s Assimilation

Nov 2017 DOI 10.14302/issn.2576-6694.jbbs-17-1748
Ajay NairCorresponding author

Neo-Darwinian natural selection theory indicates that sudden, drastic changes in the environment place selective pressure on genetic variants in a population. As time progresses, this pressure sculpts individuals to better fit this new environment. Waddington’s classic experiment was repeated using…
